Views:

Three days later, when Aes appeared in front of Liu Qinghuan again, she felt that maybe the Hou Mansion really should change a group of guards.

Holding a carefully wrapped painting in his hand, Aersi walked in front of her: ""Golden Chrysanthemum·Autumn"."

Liu Qinghuan's eyes flickered, and just as he was about to take the painting in his hand, Ayers suddenly took his hand back.

Liu Qinghuan looked up and saw that he didn't speak, Aies smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, and said: "Eijin specifically said before I came that you must give me "Magnolia Spring" before I can let you see this." painting."

Liu Qinghuan frowned and thought for a while, walked to the bedside and took out a rolled up white paper, and silently handed it to Aies. Aies looked at her suspiciously for a while, then took the white paper in her hand and opened it. On it was a map that was scribbled, and the handwriting could only be barely read.

His eyebrows moved, and he looked up at her: "What is this?"

Liu Qinghuan said: "I got the map from "Magnolia"."

Aies narrowed his long and narrow eagle eyes, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "What about painting?"

"I must have been sent to the palace by Xue Mu a long time ago. I don't have the ability to break into the palace at night." When she said this, she gave Aes a mocking look, "But you can try."

Aies, who was concentrating on studying the map, missed the mockery that flashed in Liu Qinghuan's eyes: "How do I know if this map is real?"

"This...you can only rely on your wisdom."

Aus looked up at her.

Liu Qing laughed happily and said: "You don't need to believe me, but the "Golden Chrysanthemum · Autumn" in your hand may not be true."

Aies pursed his lips, and then looked down at the map in his hand: "Since it is copied, why is the handwriting so scribbled?"

Liu Qinghuan said: "I just want to restore the original picture as much as possible."

Aies silently folded the map and put it away in his clothes, then threw the painting in his hand to Liu Qinghuan.

Such a generous move made Liu Qinghuan doubt the authenticity of this painting.

She walked to the table, took out the painting from the brocade case, and slowly unfolded it.

The golden autumn chrysanthemum is like a group of blooming flames, and it is like gold spread all over the ground. She looked at the inscription on the painting, it was a poem about lotus.

Slightly hooking the corners of her lips, Liu Qinghuan took a sip of the cold water in the cup, and said to Aes: "Do you know what is the easiest way to distinguish between true and false?"

Almost at the same time as the word "?" was uttered, Liu Qinghuan poured the cold water in the cup on the painting.

Aies frowned, and took a step forward to grab the painting, but Liu Qinghuan's footsteps changed a few times quickly, and he turned around to avoid his sudden move.

The movements of his subordinates stagnated subconsciously, this woman's martial arts were much higher than what she showed. He may have underestimated her before.

Ayers turned around, looked at Liu Qinghuan who was standing in front of the window, and quickly dodged past. This time because he was on guard, Liu Qinghuan couldn't dodge his falcon-like blow again.

Liu Qinghuan patted his empty hands, and smiled at Aies: "Isn't it just to take a look, why are you so stingy?"

Aies looked down at the map that had fully appeared on the painting, frowned and put the painting into the brocade case: "Before I repent, you'd better tell me how you plan to sneak into my team."

Liu Qinghuan said happily.

Although Aerus felt that her plan was too troublesome, he reluctantly agreed.

After the deal was finished, Liu Qing sent Aies away with a happy smile. After he walked away, she put away the smile on her face, walked to the desk and sat down. She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then picked up a Zihao pen on the grid, and quickly drew on the white paper.

What she drew was nothing but the map she had just seen.

One of the prerequisites for being a good liar is a superhuman memory. Although she only glanced at the map a few times, she had already accurately recorded it in her mind.

After finishing the painting, she blew on the ink on the paper and hid the painting with satisfaction.

When Aerus returned to the mansion, Yijin was still sitting by the window admiring the moon. Seeing Aies come back, he jumped down from the window sill, as light as a cat: "How is it?"

Aerus took out the map hidden in his clothes and handed it to Yi Jin: "She said that she came down from the painting, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Yi Jin studied the map for a while, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as she is in our hands, it means that "Magnolia" is in our hands."

Aerus nodded, and said with a little worry: "By the way, she saw the map on "Jurassic Chrysanthemum", but it was only for a moment, so it shouldn't matter?"

Yi Jin's brows moved: "Not necessarily, some people do have the ability of photographic memory. But it's still the same sentence, as long as she is in our hands, so what if she sees it?"

Auesi thought about it too, once she arrived in Dongganluo, even if she was a cuckoo, she would not be able to fly out of their palms.

Seeing that the eighth day of the lunar new year was getting closer, Liu Qinghuan became more and more excited. I'm about to leave the Marquis Mansion soon, and I'm actually a bit reluctant when I think about it, especially Xue Mu, she hasn't taken advantage of him much, it's really a pity.

Liu Qinghuan was lying on the bed, thinking wildly, and with another "Hula", a figure rushed in from the window. Liu Qinghuan twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking that Aes had come again, but when she looked up, she realized that it was a completely unexpected person.

"Nuo Yan?" Liu Qinghuan blinked, guessing in her heart why he came.

Nuo Yan still had a cold look on his face. He stared at Liu Qinghuan for a while, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou already knows about you and Aes."

Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then said seriously: "Aies and I are absolutely innocent, Lord Hou is much prettier than him."

Nuo Yan glanced at her, and there was a hint of disbelief in his eyes: "Master Hou knows that you are going to flee to Donggan Luo Kingdom while Aes is leaving."

Nuo Yan spoke too briefly, Liu Qinghuan didn't know how much Xue Mu knew the details of her escape, and he didn't know what their exchange terms were.

Seeing that she was silent, Nuo Yan took the initiative and said, "I'm here to help you."

Liu Qinghuan glanced at him unexpectedly.

She could see that Nuo Yan was Xue Mu's real confidant, he was better than Nian Tang in martial arts, and had more eyes than Peng Peng, and he was very loyal to Xue Mu.

He said he came to help himself? Even if Liu Qinghuan was killed, she wouldn't believe it.

Xu saw Liu Qinghuan's distrust, and Nuo Yan took the initiative to explain: "I don't understand why Hou Ye knew you were a fake, but still let you stay in the Hou Mansion, but no matter what, I don't want you to be like this. People stay by Lord Hou's side."

His tone was full of contempt, and Liu Qinghuan, who was said to be "someone like you", was not annoyed, but just smiled and looked at Nuo Yan: "Well, I don't really understand, but since our goals are the same, I believe we can It was a pleasure working together.”

Nuo Yan was silent for a while, and said: "On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Master Hou asked me to stay at the mansion to monitor you. You find a way to distract Nian Tang, and I will help you meet Aies."

Liu Qing laughed happily and said, "Okay."

Nuo Yan frowned almost invisibly, and turned out of the window.

Qing Zhi, who happened to pass by the door, tilted her head. Recently, Madam seems to like reciting poems to the moon.

Liu Qinghuan lay on the bed and closed her eyes. Nuo Yan's actions today didn't seem to be ordered by Xue Mu. He didn't hesitate to go against Xue Mu's order to help her

Ah.

Liu Qinghuan slightly raised the corners of her mouth.

A few days later, it was the seventh day of July, the Qixi Festival.

Today, all the maids in the Hou Mansion were very excited, even Chi Tao and Qing Zhi looked happy. Liu Qinghuan looked at them, and joked: "You two are also moved by the red luan star? Tell me which man you like. My wife will make the decision for you."

The two maids blushed instantly when she said that, and they all ran out with excuses.

When Qingzhi came back again, she was holding a large bouquet of flowers of various colors in her hands. Liu Qinghuan watched her soak the flowers in the water, then brought the water basin to the yard, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Qingzhi said: "Madam, haven't you heard that on the evening of Qixi Festival, soak flowers in water, soak for one night under the starlight, and wash your face with water soaked in flowers the next day, your skin will become particularly smooth and fair."

"Really?"

"Ma'am, I'll know if I try it tomorrow morning!"

Liu Qinghuan smiled and said nothing. After a while, seeing Qing Zhi walking over with a silver powder box, Liu Qinghuan said: "I know this, are you begging for a trick with a spider?"

Qing Zhi nodded: "I hope to weave a beautiful net tomorrow."

Liu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that you really want to get married."

"The servant is gone!" Qing Zhi's face turned red again.

Liu Qinghuan didn't tease her any more, seeing if she saw Chitao's shadow, she asked: "Where is the Chitao person?"

"Oh, the old lady set up an incense table in the garden today. Everyone is there to worship the stars. The maids are very happy. The dancers in the house are still dancing. Madam, do you want to go and see?"

Liu Qinghuan thought for a while and said, "Well, I won't go."

As soon as the words fell, Chi Tao ran back in a hurry: "Ma'am, ma'am!" Panting, she ran to Liu Qinghuan, and handed Liu Qinghuan a piece of white paper with writing on her hand, "Ma'am, look, this is Hou Qinghuan." I wrote it with my own hand!"

Liu Qinghuan blinked, and took the paper in her hand, on which were written five words in beautiful willow script——hope for a long time.

Liu Qinghuan knew that Ning was a famous talented woman when she was young, and she could write well, but she didn't expect that Xue Mu could also write well like her.

"Hou Ye has been learning calligraphy from the old lady since he was a child. He is really better than blue!" Obviously Liu Qinghuan is not the only one who feels that Xue Mu's handwriting is good.

Hearing what Qingzhi said, Chitao said proudly: "I won it with a needle, you don't know how much those maids want it! Let them think about Lord Hou all the time!" After Chitao finished speaking, Looking at Liu Qinghuan with a smile again, "Of course the words written by Lord Hou are for Madam."

Liu Qinghuan had no expression on her face. She stared at the five words on the paper for a while, and then went to the desk and wrote five more words with a pen next to it.

There is always a time for gathering and parting.
